“Gee, thanks,” Jack said sarcastically, “I guess it feels good to know that I’m managed the skills of making a forty-something year old woman to look good enough to please my dad.”
“That’s not what I meant,” Jack’s father sighed, “It hasn’t been easy for me in your sister’s body either. It hasn’t been easy for anyone in this post-Great Shift world. I was honestly trying to relay a message from your mom. She’s having a hard time in your body, you know. She misses the woman she was. She’s glad to see you adapting well enough, and she likes seeing her old body, well, look nice.”
“Yeah, whatever, ” Jack mumbled under his breath, cracking a little bit. He did have a soft spot for his mom. But he was still a stubborn nineteen year old at heart. He just couldn’t show it, not even now that he was a forty year old woman.
well written, goodpic
